In 1898, after rail service from Lewiston reached Lenore, a tramway was begun to ship grain from Camas Prairie (1600 feet above) to a new freight stop directly across the river.

Previously, grain wagons descended a long steep hill from the prairie.
Gravity moved full tram buckets down, sending empty buckets back up the cable loop.
By 1903 the completed system carried up to 100,000 bushels of grain each year.
In 1937 a fire destroyed the entire system.
